1989:
Used car salesman Trask Bodine made a lot of mistake in his life. His
parents were never really there for him. He was forced at an early age
to become the primary caregiver to his little brother, Brian Bodine. Now
with his life more stable than ever before, Trask decided it was time
to better himself. He began to pursue his GED. He hired University student
Lanie Cortlandt to be his tutor. Lanie made Trask believe he could do
anything he set his mind to. But, all Task wanted now was to be with Lanie.

1990: Lanie left Trask after reuniting with David. Trask
successfully obtained his degree. When he decided to enlist in the military,
he worried about disrupting Brian’s life, especially his senior
year in high school. Myrtle Fargate offered to care for Brian while Trask
got on his feat. He transferred guardianship to her before leaving Pine
Valley for good.
